# ✨ Introduction

## Introduction

The gmDAO is a community of NFT collectors, artists & investors created in September 2021 using a fair token distribution. Broadly speaking, the DAO was formed based on the principles of etiquette and mutual respect, making our community a haven within a typically hostile environment. This ultimately resulted in an extremely passionate & engaged member base which we are extremely proud of.

The DAO consists of 900 members, the majority active within NFT sector, with backgrounds ranging from early crypto users/developers and accredited investors, to world renowned generative artists.
